Volkswagen Type 1 (Beetle) was the same way, with front tire pressure lower than rear pressure. But of course, Nader didn’t go after them because, you know, not evil American.

There were some legitimate, albeit fixable, issues with the Corvair’s design and handling. Porsche had run into identical handling and “tuck-and-roll” problems with a similar design and abandoned it during testing.
